This bugger and his whole team in TRIIP, cannot even get a proper pedestrian way implemented in IIT Delhi and shamelessly promote all this to the country and the world. I invite everyone to go and have a look at the 'pedestrian and cycling track' inside IIT Delhi. Have a laugh and then go and take Prof. Mohan's statement. The track breaks in several places, one place is while coming from the Admin Block to the Bharti Telecom CoE. Ha Ha to Prof Dinesh Mohan comment.

Now all of us are unhappy straphangers - unsung gymnasts of the new deluxe buses and performers on the uneven bars on the old green ones! And dont even mention T(torture)Nagar. And since Chennai is the new Detroit, it's a dead city anyway! How can we expect anything sensible from this administration that has sold/inextricably linked itself to the automobile lobby! BTW, am looking for actual passenger stats for the MRTS - now that the posh south Madras crowd has begun to feel the oil crunch? How does it compare with the older EMU system?
